My tinnitus also gets worse with earplugs, and I wear them since I'm a light sleeper, with a bedroom close to a somewhat busy road. What I've managed to convince myself is that if I focus on in, instead of ignoring it, I can "use" it as an inbuilt white noise generator. I've probably conditioned myself to get a reassuring feeling out of it, but I guess that's what counts. I know it sounds ridiculous, and it might be I'm just lucky since my tinnitus is only a hissing noise, but it works for me, so it might work for others as well.

I have musician's earplugs. It sucks. You often cannot hear the conductor, some frequencies occlude more than others, and your tinnitus is louder than ever. (I realize the filter can be weakened and fit improved, which I plan to do, but I'm on my fourth fitting and second filter.)

The alternative? Take them out and enjoy the rich, sonorous, ever-so-slow hearing loss!

I use sleep headphones with brain.fm playing. I used to listen to pink noise (similar to white, but more waterfall and less static).

I use acoustic sheep headphones, but I wish there were more options out there.
